Among the sources there is a directory called "ode". This contains
numerous sample differential equation files in the xppaut syntax,
(for example wave.ode )

You can run any of these files (for example wave.ode) as follows 

xppaut wave.ode

Xppaut should start and show its X based gui interface. Typing
"i" followed by "g" should cause it to integrate the ODE (wave) and
it graphic output should be displayed. To fit the whole graphic 
in the window type "w" followed by "f". Expect to see a wave
in this case. I would believe if xppaut does not segfault and
you do see a wave things are ok.

To check if the actual numerical results are ok would take more
work. You will need to click on "Data" and save the data. Then
compare it with a run of the same ode on a 32 bit architecture.
Alternatively or in addition you may want to send a copy of your 
fix to Prof. Bard Ermentrout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ( whose home page
for xppaut is at http://www.math.pitt.edu/~bard/xpp/xpp.html ). 

I am not sure how well this would work but if one provides two
makefiles (for 32 and 64 bit) or uses ifdef clauses in a single
makefile this may help.

Unfortunately I do not have access to 64 bit architechtures.

Thank you for your help.

regards
